No Heat (air but never hot) (Page 2/6)

a bad thermostat/no thermostat will keep it from getting warm fast, but it will still get at least warm. low fluid is the first thing that comes to mind, but he mentioned fluid level fine. so, that leaves a clogged heater core or maybe kinked hose leading to the heater core.

Remember what Mr. T said " I pitty the fool.'

The pasenger compartment heater is roughly parallel to the cooling system.
Water circulates through the heater core if the slider is open, and the water pump is moving fluid.
The temperature of the coolant is controled by the tstat.

By the way, how many Fireo owners put much creadence in what the service manual says in the first place?

Wrong, Period.
Coolent Always flows through the heater core, no matter what the slider or thermostat is doing. Always. If the engine is running, coolent is fbeing pumped through the core.
The slider controls a door which allows air to blow through the heater core. With the slider at one end, no air goes through it. At the other, all the air goes through it.

The heater system is a bypass for the thermostat, so that the pump can still keep water circulating even when the thermostat is closed.

FAN BLOWS AIR, at all speed.


On top of what everyone else has said about you little game... Your the one that said "comes to normal running temp as expected"

Now to those of us that make an attempt to help others we would hope you where smart enought to know what you where saying;.
When someone says the engine is getting to normal running temp that their telliing the truth.
If your stat was bad this would not be the case.

Pitty the fool!

What's a "typical left coast type," Rush? Your comment is almost as stupid as the ones from the dirtball who started this topic. I guess if we go by generalizations, everyone in North Carolina is a reactionary, a bigot, and an inbred cracker; rebel flag tatoo'd on their butts. We all know that's not true, right? North Carolina is a fairly diverse place, right? Lots of caring, thinking, rational people. If you'd ever been to the WEST coast, you'd know that the population there is fairly diverse, too.

Wow. Out of the blue, I get this email:

First off what business is it of your how many screen / user names I have on your site.
I as far I am concered, it's none of your ****ing business, who made you the damn internet
police? What are you going to do, come to my door and slap my hand. Give me a ****ing break.
Currently active count is 3, i might have 4, but I can't seem to find the user name password for
the 4th one, think I lost it in my most recent move.

It all makes since if you think about it for a moment. One user name for the office, One user name for
when I 'm at home, and one on my laptop. (based on what I do for a living I need access to the net
24 x 7, as Calif likes to have their 911 system up and running at all times, and I play a large part
in making that happen.) The 4th user name, was so that I could correctly answer posts, that I placed.
Since most of your user playS guessing games, and are for the most part, blowing out their ass. I don't
how most of the people that use this site keep their Fieros on the road. I mean, I know they don't if they
follow the recommendation that most these clowns post.

Me '86 V6 looks like it was driven off the show room floor yesterday, with 110k original miles,
I'm just now thinking that it might me time to put it up on blocks for a full rebuilt. But Calif summer
is coming and I need to pull that sun roof, and go enjoy the local canyons, and rack up a few
more miles before I block this car, so maybe after this summer.

I will continue to check back with your site from time to time, whenever I need a good laugh. Like I said
most the (i didn't say, ALL, let's get that clear) most, are just blowing out there ass, and are only repeating bad
recomendations that they picked up off your web site. No matter how many times you repeat bad stuff, it will
never make it right. Good thing i'm a retired mechanic, I gave it up as i find much more enjoyment working on
cars as a hobby verse making a living that way. Not to mention I would never be able to pull down this kind of
cash as a mechanic, unless I was working Nascar, or F1 or something like that.

So tell me, just what the **** do you intend to do about my user name count? I will interested to know your proceduces on how you isolate such a thing and weed out what you think are user names that should not
have accesss to using your site. If you're really that good maybe you should be working on my computer team,
does a 6 figure salary interest you at all.

( O, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT KIND OF REPLY I GET FROM YOU. I'M SURE I WILL FIND IT FUNNY, AND
I'M SURE I'M BE LAUGHING FOR WEEKS)


Obviously, I had no idea what this was about so I actually had to do a search for his ip-address to figure out who the heck this was. Well, guess I found out.

Oh, and I'm glad you find my reply funny. I sometimes crack myself up too.

Cliff Pennock APR 18, 03:32 AM
Oh wait, this has now been moved to the Trash Can (wish we had a "Too Funny" section, though).

gotta say, love it when cliff owns these people with the IP address thing
